[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to the chat bot poster- was the prompt this?

Should I become a slum landlord in Moco?

Even with invention of chatbots there isn’t a right way to do the wrong thing.[/quote]

Might rents remain stable or increase in areas of increased density despite the possible negative externalities that would result?  Would those be partially offset by XYZ?  I don’t recall 100%.

I’ve done much deeper research than that as this mess has progressed over the years, but the research essentially says that land values might increase, but it’s likely that you won’t want to live there if you have better options.  We are making the area worse for current residents but more people will be able to live there, which makes the area worse for the people that live there, who sell and more people can fit there…eventually there is equilibrium, but I don’t think that anyone posting here is in the same housing type for that long.  I mean, whatever.  I’ll rent the house and if my area gets upzoned I’ll pave the front yard for parking and subdivide it.

Of course, none of this is set in stone.  There could be lawsuits, there could be elections in which we throw these people out in favor of moderates.  You never know.[/quote]
